Gobang goes bang! (Plus, win a New iPad)

iPhone game developer Kwalee celebrated the release of their first iOS game, Gobang Social, by blowing up, and utterly destroying, a brand New iPad.

Using high explosives, then a pickaxe, the latest Apple iPad is seen broken up into numerous pieces.

The whole exciting event was captured for posterity on video and can be seen on the Kwalee YouTube channel here: http://youtu.be/EHJSR_XTd2w

David Darling, Kwalee CEO, enjoyed the whole event:

"It was a great day out for our staff who had superb fun making the video. The explosion was really quite dramatic as it blew up the iPad, which was displaying the Gobang Social logo right up to the final second of its life".

To compensate anyone who is upset at the destruction of this fine product of Apple's genius, Kwalee are giving away a New iPad to the lucky winner of a simple competition.

All you have to do is download Gobang Social, and the person who wins games against the highest number of players, before the end of May, will win an iPad 3.
